CB – Gerard Pique, Barcelona
Another star from the Nou Camp now and with the continued absence of club captain Carles Puyol – who is said to be leaving Catalonia in the summer – Pique has really had to step up.
With Javier Mascherano looking weak as a centre-back, the Spain international will be hoping that national compatriot Marc Bartra can step up to what is required and work alongside this world-class defender.
